After I published Amherst Handbook and it was a big success,

they unleashed, unrolled, excuse me, a hardcover edition program.

So I'm like, oh, great, I'll put in hardcover.

They're like, sorry, this is too similar to Murray Rothbard's Anatomy of the State, which is a pamphlet or short book that Murray Rothbard wrote.

I go, well, wait, I have the entirety of Anatomy of the State in here.

I have permission from the Mises Institute in writing, which I'm giving to you, to reprint it.

And you guys already have it been published for a year as a paperback and ebook.

And they're like, too bad, blocked.

So it's not available as a hardcover on Amazon, even though it's available.

Maybe now it's going to be pulled as paperback and ebook.

So with this book, I was anticipating, all right, there's going to be some whatever.

The thing with how it works is you have to upload it and hit publish.

And then you got to wait for the approval.

I'm like, okay, this is going to be who knows.

I just wanted to get as fast as possible.

4 a.m.,

Less than 24 hours, I get a notification, congratulations, your book's available for sale.

And I have to run downstairs and pull it from publication because otherwise it was out and I didn't finish editing it.

So that's the situation there.

Yes.
